A large number of rotor blades from wind turbines reaches their end of life. A team of students from the university of St. Gallen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) embarked on the challenge to find a second life for these blades. At Milano Design Week 2019 they presented their solution.

On March 11, we at KSRI welcomed about 250 people to the SUGARWinter Presentations at the University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe – a location with an amazing spirit. We were delighted to welcome guests from Asia and all-around Europe. Participants came from academia and practice as well as from operational to executive level. From industry, 100 representatives from over 40 companies joined the event.

Our Design Thinking teams look back on weeks of intensive work, full of interviews, constructive discussions, ideation and prototyping. Time to give you an update! Together with our colleagues from the University of St. Gallen, TU Munich, HPI, and HS Mannheim, we are hosting the “SUGAR+ Winter Presentations”at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design on Monday, March 11.
